CAUGHT IN THE ACT - Police Arrest Armed Robbers While Raping Victim

The police have arrested four robbery suspects at the Ikeja area of Lagos State while they were having carnal knowledge of their victim, one Ogbonna, who was on her way to the office.
The suspects- Tochuckwu Ilom (21), Confidence Oziegbe (20), Simon Peter (25) and Nnemeka Ugochukwu (26) – had first dispossessed Ogbonna of her valuables before taking turns to rape her.


It was gathered that the victim and three of her friends were walking along Airport Road, Ikeja, around 6am on the fateful day when they were attacked by the robbers, who were with guns and other weapons.

The ladies, who were on their way to the office, reportedly took to their heels.

It was learnt that while three of the ladies escaped, the robbers caught up with Ogbonna and dispossessed her of her Samsung Galaxy handset and a cash sum of N2, 200.

Meanwhile, her other friends who had escaped, were said to have met a police patrol van, which they stopped, and alerted the policemen to the incident.

The policemen were said to have trailed the robbers and found them under the bridge while taking turns to rape the victim.

Some of the robbers were said to have fled the scene, while the police arrested the four suspects.

They were arraigned before an Ebute Meta Magistrate’s court on four counts of armed robbery and rape.

The magistrate, Mrs. M.O. Tanimola, agreed to remand the defendants in the Ikoyi prison for the first 30 days permitted by the law.
